A quick definition of iudicum sortitio:

Term: IUDICUM SORTITIO

Definition: Iudicum sortitio is a practice in Roman law where eligible participants' names are put in an urn and chosen at random to serve as jurors. The English word sortition comes from the Latin word sortitio and means "the drawing or casting of lots."

A more thorough explanation:

iudicum sortitio

iudicum sortitio is a Latin term used in Roman law. It refers to the practice of selecting jurors by drawing their names from an urn containing the names of eligible participants. The English word "sortition" comes from this Latin term and means "the drawing or casting of lots."

An example of iudicum sortitio would be if a court needed to select a jury for a trial. The names of eligible participants would be placed in an urn, and then a person would draw names from the urn until the required number of jurors was reached.

Another example would be if a group of people needed to be randomly selected for a task or committee. The names of eligible participants would be placed in an urn, and then a person would draw names from the urn until the required number of people was reached.

The examples illustrate the definition of iudicum sortitio by showing how it was used in Roman law to select jurors for trials. It was also used to randomly select people for tasks or committees. The practice of drawing names from an urn ensured that the selection process was fair and unbiased, as each eligible participant had an equal chance of being chosen.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
